Thought I’d share this new to me coin. It was part of a collection I purchased today. There were a few other interesting pieces in the lot, but...
I wasn’t suggesting the process would create hairlines. I was wondering if there were currently too many pre-existing hairlines to earn a straight...
So this raises an interesting question. If I did the envelope in the windowsill method and it developed a nice patina, would it straight grade or...
The last two photos I posted are very representative of the coin in hand. I am very happy with how it turned out.
I paid $75 for the coin. I became much happier with my purchase once it cleaned up. I’m not sure what I’m going to do with it now. It’ll either...
Fair assessment @Morgandude11 though I was really wondering what @okbustchaser would have paid. I’ll hold off on revealing my purchase price until...
Just curious what you think would have been a fair price for the coin? I’ll let you know what I paid after you respond.

Hello there folks. I’m looking for input on the authenticity of this half dollar. I know it has been cleaned but I’d love insight into any red...

Couple of interesting civil war tokens I just ended up with. The Soda token is quite rare. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hey all, Just picked up a few “problem” coins from a local seller. I’m excited to see what I can do with them in my ever-evolving...
I did soak the entire surface but I think the verdigris was not allowing what was underneath it to tone at the same pace as the rest of the coin.
Here is the reverse...lesson learned: try to dislodge green hunk after a couple hours and don’t wait overnight. The reverse didn’t experience any...
Yeah, I realize the discoloration is a trade off, but it is waaaay better than the green slime IMHO.
Let the VerdiCare sit overnight on the obverse and it softened the green corrosion quite nicely. I have the reverse working now. [ATTACH]
It’ll be a while on the grading. I usually piggyback with a dealer friend of mine but he is t submitting for a while. Are there any new customer...
